National Assembly Speaker Rt. Hon. Moses Masika Wetang’ula has directed the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security to table a preliminary report and statement in the House on Thursday at 2:30 PM. 

The report is expected to update the House and the nation on the progress of investigations into the tragic death of Albert Ojwang.

The directive followed concerns raised by lawmakers, led by Nyando MP Hon. Jared Okello, who described the matter as grave and urgent.

A long-running land dispute in Siaya County has escalated to the national stage, with the Senate and the Office of the Ombudsman now involved in a case that pits a local resident, Mr. Francis Otieno Otieno, against the County Government of Siaya over alleged destruction of sugarcane crops.

The Senate Committee on Roads chairman, Sen. Eddy Oketch implored, “This is a serious matter and we should find solution since the Governor is in this meeting.”

National Treasury Cabinet Secretary, Hon. John Mbadi is set to deliver his first official Budget Day speech on Thursday, June 12, 2025, before the National Assembly.

The proposed national budget for the 2025/2026 Financial Year stands at Ksh. 4.239 trillion and is anchored on President William Ruto’s Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA) and the broader goals of Vision 2030.

The Standing Committee on Finance and Budget has hailed Kisii County Governor Simba Arati for paying all verified pending bills. 

This development comes after the Committee learnt that the County Executive of Kisii formed a Pending Bills Committee in November 2022 to review outstanding obligations for the 2021/2022 Financial Year. 

This committee verified the claims and found Kshs231,443,172 eligible bills, which have since been fully settled, and declared Kshs1,071,435,683 ineligible due to non-compliance and lack of supporting documentation. 

As the consideration of the Finance Bill 2025 approaches homestretch, the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning has begun engaging various government agencies over a number of issues, primary among them those that emerged during the stakeholder engagements and public participation exercises on the Bill. 

 This critical step follows the conclusion of public participation on both the Finance Bill 2025 and the Virtual Asset Service Providers Bill.
